abc/123 (Mark 9:42)

the numbered ones come in handy, when we are trying to decide who's in/who's out, who should we reach out to, using all sorts of demographics and stats, deciding whether or not the budget can fund that proposed ministry;

we've taken them out to spell I-M-M-I-G-R-A-N-T to make sure others know their place, or D-0-C-T-R-I-N-E so no one can do well on the entrance exam, or C-L-O-S-E-D so our afternoon committee meetings won't be interrupted by folks searching for a friend (or you)

but you reach into the toy box grabbing up all the blocks in your arms and begin to build your kingdom which is for everyone.
